Where is the sky??

Today was a shocking day as far as air quality is concerned. There are bush fires burning out of control in huge slabs of Victorian bushland, so the state is covered in a thick smoke. The smoke was so bad that I could look from one end of the factory and see a haze through to the other side of the factory! That's pretty full on! I just pray that the fire fighters will be able to control the fires soon.
Apart from the huge fires, this week has been very busy in itself. Chris and I spent the weekend going to parties and such, including Claire's 21st, the Kmart Christmas party, the Balloon Sunrise Christmas Party, and Ann's Queen's Scout Presentation. So it was a really busy time! I think I put photos up from most of those events, you may need to scroll down a little before you can see them though.
On Monday, Mauris started working with me at Oates. I picked him up from the station, which actually worked out really well. It makes me less likely to be late. We have been doing well for time, I just have to fine tune my route to work in the mornings and home in the evenings.
Monday was also 18 Plus night, so Chris and I went along and we discussed the idea of a "pub church". It was an interesting idea, and I think it is a great way to look at outreach.
Tuesday night was spent at rovers, discussing some of the finer details for the raft race event to be held early next year.
